" Jon Hamm has claimed that his Mad Men character Don Draper is &amp;quot;misunderstood&amp;quot;. In an interview with Parade, he explained that Don tries to behave well even if he does not always succeed. He said: &amp;quot;On the page, sometimes you think, &amp;#039;Why are we rooting for this guy? He&amp;#039;s kind of a douchebag&amp;#039;. But really he&amp;#039;s just misunderstood. I think what people respond to in Don is that there is a moral centre in there and he does have a certain code of ethics that follows. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a rugged individualist in many ways, but he does try to do the right thing. He doesn&amp;#039;t always succeed, but he tries. I think most Americans can identify with some portion of that. I think that&amp;#039;s what resonates.&amp;quot; However, Hamm admitted that he has nothing in common with Don, explaining: &amp;quot;I think people think that I&amp;#039;m a lot like Don, a dark, brooding kind of person. But the people who know me know that&amp;#039;s definitely not the case!&amp;quot; Hamm also revealed that he has no idea what will happen in the next season of Mad Men. &amp;quot;I wish I knew,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;If you hear anything, let me know. [Creator] Matt [Weiner] plays those things very close to the vest. He&amp;#039;s still writing the season so I honestly don&amp;#039;t know. But we certainly have a lot of opportunities to expand the story given where we ended last season, so I&amp;#039;m looking forward to it as much as you are, I hope.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
